Day 4 is behind us. Stunning participant readings, complex conversations about teaching and poetic engagement. Sorry you couldn't see actually see my reading on FB Live last night: a Zoom glitch keeps locking our executive director out of her account, so she hasn't been able to make the link. However, we've recorded my reading and Patricia Smith's, and I'll let you know when those are posted . . . I hope later today.

This morning I'll be leading a lesson on Andrew Marvell's poem "The Garden." Then the conference will shift and change and some people will say goodbye and some will arrive . . . and the Writing Intensive will begin, and I will step back from teaching and return to being a writer.
